Kids loot Jhb CBD

Thousands of children wearing different school uniforms disrupted the cbd today on their quest for better education. It is believed that they are enraged by the fact that they don't have tablets and have to pay for school.

I asked them what the uproar was all about and some said "di ntho tsa mahala di monate" which means free things are nice. Others said that they are just tagging along. At around 1pm the children were at park station toi toiing saying that they want these free tablets.

By 3pm the group was unstopable ,treet vendors were terrorised and shop owners were robbed of stock. The leaders of this unruly pack held metal rods and sent out fluits to communicate to the the rest of the group on the direction the group had to go forcing commuters to re route
